I do keep trying tho...and hoping that one day, we'll find something that works. And thanks for your kind concern Pam.  |
Ignore most of my other reply... I had not seen this one yet.
There really aren't words to express how bad I think you're situation sucks and how I wish I could reach down and find some kind of solution or path to one at least for you.
I'm such a dang hippy at heart.... I wonder if alternative medicine might be a better approach?? Acupuncture therapy, herbal supplements like Raven suggested? With the supplements though ya need to double check with your primary care first because even herbal meds can alter your prescription ones.
You're in my prayers though, sometimes that is the only thing that can change things when we just release our control (or lack thereof) of the situation into His hands and trust a better day will come. (that being said, I mean no offense if you aren't a praying person... that just fell out of my mouth as it would have with any of my friends in RL)
